Stroudsmoor Country Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding at Auradelle. From the very beginning, the team was responsive, timely and accurate in their communication, making the planning process seamless even though we were coming from out of state. Our wedding coordinator Kaylie was incredibly easy to work with remotely and ensured every part of our day was flawless. The grotto and reception space were absolutely beautiful and romantic, and the flower arrangements were stunning - Grayson truly captured our vision perfectly. All the food and bakery items were superb, with no complaints whatsoever. We could not be happier with our choice of Stroudsmoor Country Inn and highly recommend them to any couple looking for a perfect, romantic wedding venue.

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to Hildegard and the SkyView staff! We planned our wedding less than a year out, and Hildegard was very accommodating and very responsive throughout the planning process - she was truly a pleasure to work with. On wedding day, we also had Jenn and Iwan helping out to make sure the day ran smoothly. We did our ceremony off-site so we cannot speak on that, but our cocktail hour and reception were absolutely awesome! We still have guests raving about how good the food was and how beautiful the venue and grounds are. You definitely get the best value for your money in terms of northern NJ wedding venues, and we couldn't recommend SkyView enough!

Shauna listened intently to all of our requests and ensured the place settings were beautifully designed. Her calm demeanor also helped keep my bride relaxed throughout the planning process.

I have been performing weddings at Sayre Mansion since the 1990s. No matter the season or the couple, the weddings at Sayre are lovely, the couples well attended to by the staff and the facility, a graceful step back in time. Flowers, lawns, trees overlook Historic Bethlehem and beautifully decorated rooms make for a picturesque backdrop for photos, ceremonies and family reunions. The staff attends to whatever needs arise. The dining room is beautifully decorated with elegantly dressed tables. The food is outstanding. I highly recommend Sayre Mansion for weddings and vow renewals.
